I was blown away by Alex Batchelor’s (Rm 4) marble run he made because he loves marble tracks. It took him 6 hours to make. Really nifty. Well Done!

New Zealand Assessment Exams (Great NZ Kiwi Competition) now have their own assessment exams similar to the Australasian Assessment Exams that we have offered in the past. These exams cater for those children in Years 5 and above. We will be doing these assessments rather than the Australasian Assessments as they are NZ written for NZ children.
